Tough news for fans and players of the Liverpool Privateers of the Nova Scotia Junior B Hockey League.
The league is cancelling the remainder of the season due to the uncertainty of the next few weeks amid the latest surge of COVID-19 cases.
Further restrictions were imposed limiting competitive sports in restricted areas such as H-R-M on Friday.
The league stated they feel strongly for their overage retiring junior players in a social media post. The cancelled season means they will lose their final year of junior hockey eligibility.
